Yvie ... that sounds like more of a technicality than a misdeed... I mean, I know that the rules should be kept, but it sounds more a sin of omission than commission ... hopefully a degree of common sense will be used. Fingers very crossed for you and hubby ((hugs))

Yvie - Rescue Remedy helps certainly but so does having a succinct list of dates and sums and proof you've paid her back her deposit. List also any deterioration to the house during her tenancy. I sincerely hope common sense prevails. A terrible worry for you but our thoughts are with you.
Flopped on a sofa here after a very luscious dinner of slow roast pork belly. Good jobs it's only once a week! OH is watching his golf in the kitchen. While I was cooking the very uninteresting (to me) Commonwealth games were on so I watched the artist competition on the other side. Do you watch it Dove or does it make you tear out your hair?
Now it's Countryfile with a vegetarian raising rare breed pigs. Whatever next?

The artist critics on the programme are why I prefer science. Art and literature are just too subjective. In the first year at Senior school, I had an English teacher who liked the way I wrote essays. Two years on, a different teacher, didn't like it. I went from top of 90 first years to near the bottom of third years.I was called an illiterate scientist. I still got a grade 1 English language and a grade 3 English Lit. So the balance swung again. We had someone who was brilliant at Art, but failed her Art A level, despite the paintings being excellent. It was remarked and she was grudgingly given a pass, but not high enough to go where she planned. Someones life ruined due to a difference of opinion. At least with Chemistry, it was either right or wrong.
I was like that with English language Fidget. Young avant garde teacher who fancied herself and my friend and marked accordingly but I got the grade 1 at O level and friend got a 5. I don't see how you can mark art. If it's marked on recognising the works and techniques of established painters it's either derivative or a course on faking and if it's marked on what the examiner likes it's purely subjective and not credible.
Being an art Philistine in general I ask myself if I'd like it hanging on my wall and the answer is usually No or Yes but I can't afford Vermeer and co. The only chemistry I know anything about these days is cooking.

Sometimes we watch it ... Sometimes we tear our hair out ... usually about the really poor way the critics express what they're trying to say. There are all sorts of art ... for all sorts of markets ... the trick is to place your art in the right context.

"the trick is to place your art in the right context." assuming you have an artistic eye and can drive a paintbrush. I do have other talents that make up, I hope, for total lack of artistic thingies.

Morning all. After working an 11 hour shift yesterday, I'd rather hoped to be able to sleep beyond 3am. Alas no. Back to the coal face at 8am. I've had a message from my daughter ( now in Bolivia ) to say she's had an email from the council in London . She reported her former landlord to them for malpractice ( keeping deposits for spurious reasons, turning off hot water and heating in winter etc etc ) and they've cautioned her, made her sing a document to say she'd acted illegally and she's had to pay back over £3,000 in withheld deposits to former tenants. Well done No 1 Daughter I say. Oh ,and she sent me this. isn't he the cutest thing ever?
